OMFG CAMPZORS!Christ, how the hell do you enforce "remaining competitive throughout the match?"If by some act of God I was forced to play classic snipers 1v1 on BG, am I being competitive if I hide in the caves with the overshield forever?

Maybe it's just me but in Senkou tourney play I'm seeing a LOT of Changpo B.She seems pretty damn good, but I have yet to see her fight Karel. (Ok damage, very very insane mobility, super's pretty ridiculous also)

New Senkou no Ronde matches up at Sega.They're streaming again so I recommend using SDP or whatever to capture them.

Anyway, Karel seems...pretty overpowering!He doesn't gain meter that fast at least.His primary shot isn't spread or anything, but it's a VERY fast VERY powerful direct hit, and if you're caught in his other spam (for one bar) he can combo it off.It does way too much I think.His super isn't anything to scoff at either, with the two waves of shots from his arms.Some people I think can give him a run for his money, like Mika (who if he has meter can just AOE bomb the shots away), but people like...Changpo I don't really think have a way to stand up to it.Fabian's super also strikes me as overpowering, and that guy builds meter like CRAZY.Hopefully we see more character matches, and at least one using the secret girl.

Edit:Forgot to mention THIS. What the hell, have character designers lost their minds. By now I bet you're wondering what's so weird about that picture. Well, who cares if the kids a robot, that is a GUY. A GUY. IT'S BRIDGET VERSION TWO. And he got on the cover of ARCADIA as fucking well. (OMG I'd RATHER HAVE THE GODAMN SKIRT THEN THE BLUE THING AGHHH.) Anyway, I'm already dreading the wave of fanart that's sure to come.

Further edit:Ok, this guy's attacks...maybe I'm reading too much into it, but his shots revolve around large circles (not the massive bullet spam you see in shooters, we're talking uh...LARGE circles), and his SUPER is a sword. A SWORD. That shoots LOTS of large circles.

I'm actually staying the fuck away from the Mahou Sensei Negima anime because it has all sorts of things wrong (GUILTY) about it; I stopped dling the manga! Really! I did! Even if I enjoyed it more than I should have!, but this cracks me up.

I think 2chan can pull it off, they are fucking scary powerful when they get zerg rush.

In other news...I think I have to resume dling Mahou Sensei Negima manga XD.

Hm...a couple weeks ago I managed to get a bunch of AIR soundtracks from Tanzy because I was so in love with the OP and ED.So I send the ED to Darren and he was like, "I think your love of the anime affects your love of the music."To which I had to respond with, "Fuck you."Then he sent me Inori, which was fucking unfair.I mean he sent a song from one of my favorite singer/voice actors, and the song was crazy good.It was like the perfect song to show me up.

Anyway, I didn't really think much more about it until Tanzy started asking for Maaya Sakamoto albums.So I basically sacrificed all my space to get ALL HER(Maaya) SINGLE ALBUMS in the space of a couple hours, then I sacrified MORE space because a certain person on 56k wanted the Ys VI soundtrack AND the Romancing Saga -Minstrel- soundtrack.

Long story short, one of those soundtracks (Romancing Saga), stopped midway (It was 4 fucking CDS) because I had run completely out of space on OMFG (Drive D:\)So I basically deleted about 10 or so game imgs because I still have the original zips for torrenting purposes, and also made a vow...finish one Japanese game at a time so I wouldn't have to keep unzipping imgs onto my hard drive that wouldn't get used.

So that's right, I'm resuming my slow translation of Utawaweru Mono, no matter what.I had done quite a bit of work on it surprisingly, massive kanji lists and translations and what not.After I finish that I'll probably move on to Aselia.Funny how both are getting ps2 releases in Japan.

Anyway, I need a good paper Japanese-English dictionary.Also want an mp3 player, ipods don't seem to cut it from what I'm seeing about their specs.ALSO want a ps2, but haha, I don't want to kill my work ethic more than it has suffered.

Ah...mangaka wimped out.That or that crazy 4th division...then again if you've seen Ichigo's permanent injuries...Exactly, there are NONE, NO FUCKING PERMANENT INJURIES AT ALL.Anyway, status...EVERYONE DEAD IS ALIVE.

Haha wow that's really literal.And hilarious.Basically my shocks are:

Hitsugaya is absolutely perfectly FINE.We're talking he had his bankai sliced in half, and himself almost, and he's acting almost normal.I'd be fucking brooding like crazy, he's just a kid after all, and one of the people he looked up to turns out to be in league with one he hates the most.Plus they killed (ok NEAR killed) his girl.

Hinamori is alive WTFBBQNESS.She had plenty of time to lose all her vital signs...PLENTY OF TIME.How is she alive?!It's not that I don't want to see her alive, I just don't think she could have SURVIVED.

Tim Rogers scores again with ANOTHER "Game Review."I love this guy, I wonder if he'd have such creative energy if he wasn't constantly an endangered species.Brennan just might enter the voice acting contest he has on his site.

I think I'm going to have to play the single player first before I figure out how this game works.It's not intuitive, or even semi intuitive like BF1942.First off...shooting seems...really screwy.I have a reticle, but damned if I know I'm hitting them or not.Second, VEHICLES are scary as shit.They are hard to control, harder to aim and shoot, and HARDEST to fucking kill.Grenade launcher point blank range at a tank?No damage.Hell, the jet planes (f-15s? SOMETHING) and the helicopters make it scarier.How are you suppoesd to kill those without finding AA guns/bazookas/or going anti tank.I suck at grenades...But c still changes points of view, just there are like 4 points of view per vehicle, and hell if I can drive while in first person mode in a tank, I have to switch out to 3rd person mode, but then aiming is RIDICULOUSLY hard, so I have to hit c 3 more times to get back into first person to shoot...Craziness...Too weird right now, I need to learn some basic ability first.

Yakitate is too ridiculous.I fear if the anime mirrors the manga that the episodes would explode out of sheer ridiculousness.TIME TRAVELING BREAD.That and the fact they accepted ANOTHER challenge from a guy who tried to kill them no less than three times.25 bread battles?They're going to lose some aren't they...probably going to get sandwiched by some dirty trick othello play (I have Othello skills!)And the latest reaction with the DBZ hair parodies...Too many puns, too many horrible references (Conan detective boy?)It was insane...I fear my brain might explode if the author keeps at it.

The Yakitate translators have a picture of a crying Tsukino. Sick bastards. -Allan
